Default I Like it here compared to other forums!

I have not been here long, but I like this forum. It is not judgemental like some other forums. I signed onto another forum, I guess I was in sign up mode, and found it full of nasty little people. So I left. This is where I will read and learn. Thank you.

Nope! I wasn't mad, just a little offended, but I got over it. I am somewhat childish at times.

It's amazing how a simple, two-word rule like "Be Nice" can so profoundly shape the atmosphere of an online forum. Well, no, I take that back. A mere rule wouldn't be enough. What makes the AGF the best is the self control of the people here.

Gretan, don't let our niceness fool you - we are probably just as highly opinionated and biased as anyone else. We've just agreed to respect each other's right to be wrong, should someone ever have the nerve to disagree with me.

I'm laughing, but that's actually how it works out. We don't have to agree on everything in order to enjoy hanging out with each other. We've made up our mind to be nice, even on those rare occasions when someone acts like a jerk.

It helps, of course, to have a friendly Mod Squad handy when that happens, but the best moderating is that done by each person, before they click on "Submit Reply." Members of the AGF are great at it, and for that I am grateful.

I am also grateful for the vastness of knowledge and experience available here, and the generous kindness that makes it available to beginners and veterans alike. A good sense of humor and fun always helps, too! Then you mix in a good measure of genuine caring and friendship that develops among our regular participants, and the result is the best forum I've seen anywhere on the net, for anything!

Glad you've joined us, Gretan. I look forward to your participating in our little family discussions.

I really don't like it here and I'm going to quit.

I'm glad you like it here. You should have made it to the So Cal Get together on Saturday. You can see the pictures here. You would have had a great time, and we would have got to meet you face to face. Maybe next time. There is talk of a campout in October and we always get together near the Christmas break.

Thanks Steve, I wouldn't have been able to go this weekend. Perhaps at some future date.

I will stand by what I posted in #6, though much has changed since then.
